A blog about cameras which are ideal for travel photography or creating a travel diary. Many of the newer cameras now have built in GPS systems to geotag the earth location of the photographer when the image is taken allowing easy reference via Google Earth or other map based web service for large numbers of travel images.

New Sony Compact camera with built in GPS for geotags
Spring 2010 Sony released the Cybershot DSC-HX5V compact camera with built in GPS for adding geotags to photos.
See a detailed review at the Imaging Resource website.
Their quote on the Sony's GPS capability indicates a GPS and Compass function:
"The Sony HX5V includes both a GPS receiver and compass built-in, allowing it to tag images with both the location and direction in which they were captured. Sony's bundled software and third-party applications such as Google Earth, which can read these tags, can then use the information to display images on a map by location. "
